Decorations don’t have to be expensive. I look in charity shops for how I can recycle things into Christmas decorations.jFor a very different Christmas tree garland,(change from tinsel) I collected Vintage glass cut necklaces and stung them altogether.photos don’t give them credit.

For those who know me , I’ve been making my own knickers for quite few years now. I really love this pattern. The girl who designed these has quite a few other good underwear patterns. I usually make them out of small pieces of cotton fabric found in charity shops.

These ones in the photo were a lavish treat…liberty of London purchased in Japan and made for the Japanese market.
